Little-used reserve F Derrick Randall is the fifth Scarlets Knights player who plans to leave the program, the New York Post reports. Randall averaged 2.1 points and 1.5 rebounds in 8.2 minutes per game during his sophomore season.

No word on where Randall is headed.

Other Rutgers players who will not be back in Piscataway, N.J., next season: G Eli Carter (who is headed to Florida), G Jerome Seagears (Auburn), G/F Mike Poole (Iona) and G/FVincent Garrett. They will likely be able to do so without NCAA penalty because Rice was fired for allegedly abusing players.

A sixth player, wing Malick Kone had planned to transfer but has changed his mind, new Rutgers coach Eddie Jordan tells the Post.

In addition to the five transfers, Rutgers has lost two recruits: PG Shane Rector out of St. Raymond High School in the Bronx decommitted and signed with Missouri. Junior college F Chris Griffin, has also backed away from his commitment.
